Unreferenced date November 2010 A ridgling or rig is a male animal with an undescended testicle . An undescended testicle is not a serious or life threatening condition, though it may cause the animal discomfort at times. This condition can be corrected by either surgery to place the testicle in the correct position or by castration to remove the testicle altogether. Horse s that are ridglings are usually Gelding gelded , though owners of a prized animal may opt for surgery to preserve the value as a breeding stallion horse stallion . An example of a ridgling that was gelded was the Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide . While the horse was gelded because the undescended testicle caused him noticeable discomfort and his manners also improved after castration, his success in horse racing has led to considerable discussion over whether it would have been possible to opt for surgically correcting the condition instead.

Interventions infobox Name PAGENAME Image Caption ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 62.5 MeshID OPS301 OtherCodes HCPCSlevel2 Orchiopexy or orchidopexy is a surgery to move an undescended testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there. It is performed by a pediatric urology urologist or surgeon on boys with cryptorchidism , typically before they reach the age of two. Some patients remain undiagnosed until their teenage years and undergo the surgery at that time. The undescended testicle may be located within the normal line of descent for example, in the inguinal canal or high in the scrotum or ectopic testis ectopically i.e. the abdomen . The surgeon may use an endoscope through the navel umbilicus to locate the testicle, and through other small opening s performs the procedure. The higher the testicle, the less successful the procedure. However, the procedure has a high success rate overall. Orchiopexy can also be performed to resolve a testicular torsion . If caught early enough and the blood supply can be restored to the testicle, this operation can be performed to prevent further occurrence of torsion. If the blood supply has been interrupted for too long, then an orchiectomy must be performed.

The testicle is enclosed in a thick capsule of fibrous tissue, the Tunica albuginea of testis tunica albuginea .

Types of injuries include blunt, penetrating and degloving. Because the testes are located within the scrotum , which hangs outside of the body, they do not have the protection of muscles and bones. This makes it easier for a testis to be struck, hit, kicked or crushed, which occurs most often during contact sport s. citation needed date February 2010 Testicles can be protected by wearing Protective cup Protective cup athletic cups during sports. Trauma to the testis can cause severe pain, bruising, and or swelling. In most cases, the testis which is spongy can absorb some impact without serious damage. A rare type of testicular trauma, called testicular rupture , occurs when the testicle receives a direct blow or is squeezed against the hard bones of the pelvis. This injury can cause blood to leak into the scrotum. In severe cases, surgery to repair the rupture and thus save the testicle may be necessary.
